CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom — (BUSINESS WIRE) — April 16, 2015 —
ARM today announced the acquisition of Wicentric, a Bluetooth®
Smart stack and profile provider, and Sunrise Micro Devices (SMD), a
provider of sub-one volt Bluetooth radio intellectual property (IP).
Terms of the agreements have not been disclosed. The IP of both
companies will be integrated to form the
ARM®
Cordio™ portfolio. This portfolio will complement ARM’s
existing processor and physical IP targeting end markets requiring
low-power wireless communications such as the Internet of Things (IoT).

Wicentric is a privately held provider of Bluetooth Smart software
solutions focused on enabling the development of low-power wireless
products. Their product line includes Bluetooth protocol stack and
profiles for creating interoperable smart products and the link layer
for silicon integration.

SMD is a privately held provider of radio IP solutions including a
pre-qualified, self-contained radio block and related firmware to
simplify radio deployment. Central to all SMD radios is native sub-one
volt operation. Operating below one volt enables the radio to run much
longer on batteries or harvested energy.

The ARM Cordio portfolio is available for immediate licensing.
